Now everything makes sense. The OS competition is between: Symbian OS - iPhone OS (Darwin) - Windows CE - Linux (Android) Android is a platform that really does not have any new thing except its runtime and the Application Framework. It has the Linux kernel, C libraries, and other open source APIs like OpenGL, Webkit, etc... Technically speaking, I don't think there is that much difference between Symbian and Android. I mean, if Symbian guys are driven finely, they will be able to build the same cool apps that Android exhibit. In fact, Symbian has better performance for real-time apps. Let's see what happens in a year. Ok.

Wouldn't it be possible to run some parts of Android over Symbian? I don't know completely the technical details, but if Android is partially built on Java, I guess it could. I think the competition is: Symbian OS - iPhone OS - Windows CE This is the current state (November 2008) according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbian#Competition I know what you mean, and may be for a $0.99 it is not worthy, but I’m not sure if the bet is correctly formulated.
